Reverse description The upper portion carries a woodcut-style vignette of four figures in traditional Frisian dress gathered around a table in an interior scene, with a coloured red-sailed vessel visible on the sea through a window at upper right and a sandy shore at lower right rendered in yellow. A caption panel above the vignette reads 'PIDDER LÜNG UND DER AMTMANN V. TONDERN · H. POGWISCH ·', and a Frisian-dialect legend is inscribed in a horizontal band below the scene. The lower register is divided into three panels: the denomination cartouches 'ZWEI MARK' and 'TAU MARK' in bold red at left and right respectively, flanking a central panel with six lines of Frisian verse in black letterpress. The printer's imprint 'BUCHDRUCKEREI CARL MEYER, WESTERLAND-SYLT.' appears at the very foot of the note.
